Hipstamatic Party w/ Cults & MTV

Looking for a way to make your photos from last night’s party even cooler? Want to add a hipster feel to those sexy shots? Download Hipstamatic, an iPhone app that allows you to shoot square photographs, making the images look as though they were taken with an antique analog camera. Hipstamatic is part of a "retro" trend inphotography, which has seen a rise in the popularity of cheap and technically obsolete analog cameras (such asPolaroidinstant cameras). This “vintage” photography application includessocial networkingfeatures to facilitate the exchange of photos via the internet (aka helps you to share pics with all of your friends on Facebook and Twitter, so they can be jealous of your fabulous life).

On Friday night, Hipstamatic teamed up with MAC & MILK & fashion photographer Chiun-Kai Shih to bring you the coveted new Chunky Lens, available for free during New York Fashion Week until February 18th. The band Cults rocked out in this intimate set while MTV filmed the show. Read my full exclusive party recap on The Downtown Diaries.
